I need some props for photographs for this story.

I have a couple of SMLE .303's which can be used. I believe I can get access to a Luger for photographic purposes.

Some suitable parabellum cartridges and .303 mil cartridges would be good for the photographs too. Easy to get them.

I have a small fake realistic looking crocodile which could be used. Some real crocodile hide would be perfect though. Wonder how to find some at a sensible price?

I am really annoyed though. I missed out getting to an auction on the weekend where a host of military memorabilia was up for auction including Afrika Korps stuff including caps. A Germanic style civilian embroidered sea captains hat would be cool too.

I need to get a period New Guinea map!!!

Now period New Guinea savage photos ... highlander photos are reasonably easy to obtain, but these were coastal cannibals. Was there any difference in their appearance?

Got to find that bloody copy of Bahnemann's first biographical book "I deserted Rommel" lost in my house somewhere too. Will provide useful background and further material.
